Have you ever wanted to learn how to start a conversation with your Cantonese-speaking friends, to order Dim Sum in Chinatown, or to understand Hong Kong movies or songs? If those are the things you want, this is the class for you! Being in our Cantonese Decal teaches you how to order Chinese food in Cantonese and to impress the lady at Chinese Express (she gives more food when you speak Cantonese!) Learn about Cantonese culture and food alongside other equally excited students.

No prerequisite is needed for the course, though we cannot accept fluent Cantonese speakers (defined as someone who can carry on a conversation rather well). We do take native Mandarin speakers, as long as they are not fluent in Cantonese. We are here to share the language and culture with more people!

Beginner classes are for students with little to no exposure to Cantonese.
Intermediate classes are for students with some exposure and can at least introduce themselves in Cantonese. Students who pass the beginner class may also be eligible for the intermediate level.

For more details, please refer to the syllabus, or feel free to contact us for more information via email!
